In this context, "reseating" simply means either pulling the
plug out and putting it back in again, or removing the
soundcard from the PC and putting it back.
Over time, it is possible for connections to come loose.
Cables for example might be stretched, by doing something as
simple as cleaning round the PC. Boards can come loose due
to variations in temperature, or even vibration.
Dust, animal hairs and all sorts can also be the cause of
poor connections, so it often pays to have someone use
something like an air duster (which is simply a can of
compressed air) to clean out a PC every couple of years or
so.

Hi George, not sure what you mean about reseating? it was
that word not
resetting? I wonder which speech they are using George some
of the heavy
weight voices use a lot of resources and what is known as
the Buffer does
not have time to empty, if refreshing the screen does not
work, the
instructions for a Repair is in my forward. I had to
give up Daniel in
my OCR but have refrained using it in Jaws. the business
of the buffer
filling and not emptying is still one I am trying to
understand, I assume it
is like a Funnel? this a pure guess Dorothy

As well as Robin's suggestion, have you tried reseating the
cables between PC and speakers or headphones?
You might even try reseating the soundcard in your system.
Sometimes contacts start breaking down over time, and
reseating often solves the problem.

Hi List.
Over the last week or so I've noticed that JAWS has started
acting poorly,
only the speech however, nothing else appears to be
effected. Its the same
for versions 7.1, 8.0 and the latest release.And over all
aspects of XP, no
matter the program etc.
The best way to describe the sound is for you to imagine you
where sitting
on a bicycle and trying to talk as you are descending a
flight of steps. Its
jerky at best, as though JAWS didn't have enough juice to
see the thing out!
But, it doesn't happen all the time, some days when I turn
on the PC,
everything's absolutely fine.
Nothing has changed with my systems setup and I'm at a loss
as to what's
going on. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be the
cause of this
flaky speech?
Regards.
Darran
